H&R Spring Help?

[mikeinaus]

any chance anyone has the model number that is printed on these springs? solo_ryder and i spent all day trying to get them installed but we couldnt get them to line up with the upper perch properly. the number printed on my springs is 29 467 VA, the rears with the same number i was able to install without problem.

the problems are:
rear springs the text on the springs is the proper way up, where the fronts the font is upside down (dont know if this matters). if i flip the spring around it doesnt even come close to lining up to either perch.

the mx3 stock upper perch only sits on the springs properly when installed in 180 degrees in reverse. when we test fitted it in the car like this the strut was hanging too far towards the middle of the car and wouldnt bolt up properly. the spring was also on quite a bit of an angle when installed this way.

solo thinks they sent the wrong springs by accident or maybe some kind of manufacturing mistake. either way the car is sitting on the street on jacks and if anyone has any info that might help id much appreciate it.
